Egg-free, dairy-free, hot cross buns, hello AIPers!

Can't believe how well these worked! Adapted from the Spunky Coconut donut recipe. I didn't bother to make a cross, but you could do one with coconut butter (concentrate).

Egg-free, dairy-free, grain-free hot cross buns - AIP friendly

1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp sea salt

2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp tapioca & 1 tbsp gelatin mixed in 1/4 cup water

1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/4 cup currants or sultanas

heat oven to 180c (375f).

process first lot of ingredients. add coconut flour and process until incorporated. stir through sultanas.

use a large ice cream scoop with a lever to make buns, or divide the dough into balls if you don’t have a large ice cream scoop with a lever.

bake about 35 minutes.

When you say tapioca... Do you mean starch or beads?

I wonder if this would work with plantains instead of bananas.

katrina, i think you could definitely do it with very ripe plantains. not sure about green ones. i made a sweet potato version that was excellent.

Great! I'm trying to limit my banana intake. For some reason, it packs on pounds for me.
